Oh, Canada!

"We embrace freedom and equality in theory, we must also embrace
them in fact"

--Prime Minister Paul Martin

If you haven't already heard, Canada's Federal Government voted in favor of same-sex marriages. Mr. Martin made a wonderful speech, which you can read a transcript of here if you wish.

This makes me very, very happy. So does the fact that Spain may also be legalizing same-sex marriages in the near future. Now if certain citizens of the U.S. could just pull their heads out of their asses and realize that legalized same-sex marriage will not send the country spiraling into the firey depths of hell, I'd be even happier.

We'll get there. Eventually.

You wouldn't believe how long it took to pass this legislation. The back-ing and the forth-ing.

About damn time, I say.

Still, you guys made the right decision in the end. That's what is really important.
